Malware Trojan reported in svchost*32.exe

[Dave76]

Hi Malwarebytes,

I have the above reported in users\AppData\roaming\Adobe32.

If I remove it I get a dialogue box on startup of my laptop stating the file cannot be found, presumably the registery or some other Windows 7 file is looking for it.

The file seems to be running 'bfgminer 2.5.0. & is top user of my memory & is running 100% of time.

Could you please advise on how to proceed & your recommendation for it's removal.

Thanks in anticipation.

Dave

Please create a new system restore point before running Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit if you can.

MBAR tutorial

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit from HERE

• Unzip the contents to a folder in a convenient location.
  
• Open the folder where the contents were unzipped and run mbar.exe
  
• Follow the instructions in the wizard to update and allow the program to scan your computer for threats.
  
• Click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats and reboot if prompted to do so.
  
• Wait while the system shuts down and the cleanup process is performed.
  
• Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.
  
• When done, please post the two logs produced they will be in the MBAR folder..... mbar-log.txt and system-log.txt
  

To attach a log if needed:

Bottom right corner of this page.

New window that comes up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note:

If no additional threats were found, verify that your system is now running normally, making sure that the following items are functional:

Internet access

Windows Update

Windows Firewall

If there are additional problems with your system, such as any of those listed above or other system issues, then run the fixdamage tool included with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and reboot.

Verify that your system is now functioning normally.

MrC

[Dave76]

Hi MC,

Thanks for the help so far.

I have downloaded & run the AntiRootKit, which has deleted the SVChost file.

I ran it again to confirm that no Malware was present.

However, when I start up my laptop again I get a Windows dialogue box which states that Windows cannot find the SVCHost file, so presume there's still a call coming from somewhere?

I also get asked if I want to run mbar before windows loads.

I have attached the log as requested.

Thanks

Dave

system-log.txt

[MrCharlie]

Minor problems that will be taken care of, for now please do this.......

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

http://www.bleepingc...to-use-combofix

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Give it at least 30-45 minutes to finish if needed.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

MrC

[Dave76]

Hi MC,

I have run combofix as suggested, the report file is attached.

This seems to have fixed windows calling for SVChost, since it didn't come up on re-boot.

Do you think it's fixed now?

Thanks

Dave

ComboFix.txt

[MrCharlie]

Please find this file and upload to VirusTotal for a free scan, let me know the results (just copy back the url)

http://www.virustotal.com/

c:\windows\system32\drivers\cuzmpxah.sys

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next.............

Please download AdwCleaner from here and save it on your Desktop.

AdwCleaner is a reliable removal tool for Adware, Foistware, toolbar and potentially unwanted programs.

AdwCleaner is a tool that deletes :

· Adwares (software ads)

· PUP/LPI (Potentially Undesirable Program)

· Toolbars

· Hijacker (Hijack of the browser's homepage)

It works with a Search and Deletion methode. It can be easily uninstalled using the "Uninstall" mode.

1. Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run As Administrator (for XP just double click) to launch the application.
   
2. Now click on the Search tab.
   
3. Please post the contents of the log-file created in your next post.
   

Note: The log can also be located at C:\ >> AdwCleaner[XX].txt >> XX <-- Denotes the number of times the application has been ran, so in this should be something like R1.

Please look over what was found, we're going to delete it all in the next step....if there's something you may want to keep...please let me know and I'll explain to why it shouldn't be on your system.

MrC

[Dave76]

Hi MC,

Thanks for that.

I could not find the file you referred to in the Drivers folder, I have the 'show hidden files' selected on my system at present.

Here's the log, I can't see anything on the log which I would want to keep apart form the browsers but presume they won't be deleted if I select clean.

Info on doing that can be found in my Preventive Maintenance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little clean up to do....

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall)

---------------------------------

Please download OTL from one of the links below: (you may already have OTL on the system)

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe

Save it to your desktop.

Run OTL and hit the CleanUp button. (This will cleanup the tools and logs used including itself)

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete.

IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST, MBAR, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.
